"Terry was the absolute worst contractor I've ever dealt with in my entire life. Personally having extensive construction background, I had initially hired Terry because he seemed to be knowledgeable in the proposed work and was very fast in responding to all my inquiries when compared to other potential contractors (most never ever responded to me). My job consisted of over 3500 sqft of concrete work both in both the front and backyard, a 40 ft retaining wall, 2000 sqft of artificial grass and landscape rocks in the front.  Needless to say, the honeymoon was over after the second week of the job (it was a two month project). Throughout the project, Terry would get mad at me when I would question procedures that were done for my project. I would always create my sentences as questions whereas he took them as "orders". He would respond back aggressively "Why are you telling me how to do my job?" Huh? I'm paying you lots of money to have this done to my satisfaction. All my questions had some merit. It was getting bad with his attitude that he would start asking me "Why are you always home?" Hello! It's COVID and Iwork from home now.  The straw that finally broke the camel's back was when I questioned the obvious awful seam work on the artificial grass installation he was performing (he was using a *scissor* to cut the seams LOL) where there were ½” inch gaps and overlaps along the entire seam where two of the turfs connected. He  got so mad at me for asking if he was going the leave the seams that way and he responded by physically threatening me as well as putting a lien on my house and coming back to tear down everything he had done. Itgot to the point where we had to call the police to personally escort Terry(and his equipment) off my property. We are currently pursuing legal actions against him. I usually write reviews for work well done, but in this case this was the absolute other extreme. I just want to make sure that "future" customers do not experience the same bad experience as what I've gone through.  Terry may sound like a nice guy when interacting with him in the beginning (after all he is trying tow in your business), but the Mr. Hyde side will show up if you start asking questions. Don’t believe anything this wolf in sheep’s clothing says (or what he posts on his website or social media accounts)…..  I predict more negative reviews will follow……"

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Thornton, CA

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
